[PATCH v6 14/18] staging: rtl8192u: ieee80211: Convert from ahash to shash

From: Kees Cook
Date: Tue Jul 24 2018 - 12:51:10 EST


This is an identical change to the wireless/lib80211 of the same name.
In preparing to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
removes the discouraged use of AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK in favor of
the smaller SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK by converting from ahash-wrapped-shash
to direct shash. By removing a layer of indirection this both improves
performance and reduces stack usage. The stack allocation will be made
a fixed size in a later patch to the crypto subsystem.
